Bilstein BMW F20 F22 F30 F32 B8 Performance Plus Damper Kit is the go-to suspension upgrade for BMW owners who want sharper handling, improved stability and an OEM-plus ride on the road. This non-adaptive Bilstein B8 damper set transforms turn-in, reduces body roll and adds confidence on B-roads, motorways and fast road driving. Perfect for rear-wheel-drive 1 Series, 2 Series, 3 Series and 4 Series models including M135i, M140i, M235i, M240i, 340i and 440i.
We run these Bilstein B8 dampers on our own cars and have installed them for many Nforcd customers. Feedback is consistently positive: tighter chassis control, better composure at speed and a quality ride that feels factory refined. If you want a serious performance suspension upgrade for your BMW without sacrificing day-to-day comfort, the Bilstein B8 Performance Plus kit is a proven choice.
